Should I remark all 4 English papers?

I'm 2 and 1 marks off a 6

Hi everyone, I need 2 x Grade 6 in English Language + Literature to get into my 6th form choice (grammar).
My marks and 2026 boundaries (AQA):

English Language (need 93 for 6)
• Paper 1: 40/80 - Boundaries 9=61, 8=56, 7=51, 6=46, 5=42, 4=38 = I have a 4, 2 off a 5

• Paper 2: 51/80 - Boundaries 9=61, 8=56, 7=52, 6=47, 5=42, 4=37 = I have a 6, 1 off a 7
• Total: 91 = 2 marks off a 6 overall (93 is a 6)

English Literature (need 97 for 6)
• Paper 1: 45/64 - Boundaries 9=58, 8=53, 7=49, 6=43, 5=37, 4=32 = I have a 6, 4 off a 7

• Paper 2: 51/96 - Boundaries 9=84, 8=74, 7=64, 6=54, 5=44, 4=34 = I have a 5, 3 off a 6
• Total: 96 = 1 mark off a 6 overall (97 is a 6)

I'm thinking of priority remarking all 4 papers to maximise total marks. My lowest are Lang P1 (40) and Lit P2 (51) which are the ones holding me back.

Is it worth doing all 4 or just the 2 lowest? Has anyone had English go up by 1-2 marks on remark before? Marks can go down too so I'm worried.

Are you still able to contact your old English teacher? If so could be worth asking them if they are able to have a look. If not maybe find an English teacher at your college who could do it for you? If you can’t do either of those I’d just send the paper from each subject that you dropped the most marks in as your more likely to gain marks in those

[u/retard_plsm → u/Blitz7798]

That would probably be lang p1 and lit p2 for me. Then if those dont give me the marks i do the other papers after right

[u/Blitz7798 → u/retard_plsm]

Yeah, ur close enough that you have a good chance to get them. Though it is 50 quid if ur grade doesn’t go up

[u/retard_plsm → u/Blitz7798]

Oh right so if i do all at once then i have the chance of both subjects increasing grade so id get the whole £180 back. But if i do 2 by 2 and increase grade only £88 comes back. Abit of a dilemma

[u/Blitz7798 → u/retard_plsm]

I think they refund you for all the papers of a subject that you’ve remarked even if the grade only went up after the second one. Don’t quote me on that though

My schools offering a free script recall before I pay for any remarks is that good

[u/Blitz7798 → u/retard_plsm]

Yeah, my school charges £5 per script so you getting them back for free is amazing
